Cod Liver Oil 550 mg: 90 softgels

Product Information

What sets Cod Liver Oil from Vitamins Direct, apart from ordinary fish oils? In addition to containing essential fatty acids, it is rich in vitamins A&D! According to Mail Online'The Government estimates that as many as 40 per cent of Britons are deficient in vitamin D'.

Vitamin D is produced by your body when ultra violet rays from the sun are absorbed into your skin. Not many people know this, but without vitamin D your body can not absorb calcium. This leads to a wide assortment of bone health issues. The Department of Health has highlighted the following groups of people as being at risk for vitamin D deficiency:

• All pregnant and breastfeeding women, especially teenagers and young women
• Infants and young children under 5 years of age
• Older people aged 65 years and over
• People who have low or no exposure to the sun, for example those who cover their skin for cultural reasons, who are housebound or confined indoors for long periods
• People who have darker skin, for example people of African, African-Caribbean and South Asian origin, because their bodies are not able to make as much vitamin D

The high-quality form of vitamin A (also known as retinol) found in Cod Liver Oil from Vitamins Direct is crucial for:

• Assisting with new cell growth and healthy tissue
• Healthy skin and hair
• Improving vision
• Forming rhodopsin, an important part of the retina provides the brain with information about color and visual images
• Supporting the integrity of the respiratory, gastrointestinal and urinary tracts

That's a whole heap of alluring benefits already, and we still haven't even discussed why essential fatty acids are good for you in the first place!

Essential fatty acids have steadily become a buzz word in nutrition for several important reasons. The biggest reason is its prefix, 'essential.' Your body cannot produce fatty acids on its own, but you need them for survival and to prevent deficiencies. This is in contrast to many other nutrients that your body can actually create, like carbohydrates and some proteins.

Providing two essential fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), Cod Liver Oil from Vitamins Direct is packed with amazing benefits that include helping reduce the risk of developing coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, and inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis. In addition, DHA works to fight symptoms associated with depression, ADD, declining brain function, and Alzheimer's disease. It also helps improve your mind, mood and memory.

Essential fatty acids can be obtained by eating certain foods such as:

• Mackerel
• Tuna
• Salmon
• Sardines
• Herring
• Menhaden

However, if you are not a person who typically enjoys eating fish, or if you avoid it due to allergies or growing concerns about the mercury levels found in fish, it may be necessary to supplement your existing diet.

In direct response to this need, Vitamins Direct is pleased to present you with our high quality Cod Liver Oil. A fish oil that is far superior to that of other major brands in the fact that it not only meets, but exceeds our customers' expectations for quality and freshness. We can claim this because we only use suppliers, manufacturers, and packaging companies that operate in accordance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) guidelines.

For additional cardiovascular benefits, we invite you to try Cod Liver Oil in conjunction with Odourless Garlic. Many people agree that garlic and garlic extracts are beneficial for preventing heart disease, curing the common cold, lowering high blood pressure, lowering cholesterol levels, and regulating blood sugar levels. But, from past experiences they relate garlic supplements to foul breath and even pungent sweat. Odourless Garlic from Vitamins Direct is formulated to relieve the stress involved in consuming garlic for its dietary benefit.
